Giant FCR2

What happened

Ride by bike to work every day, all year round. Usually lock it to one of the three u-bike racks in front of the hospital. Both wheels are secured with a Zefal skewer lock, seat is bolted. When I left work at 5pm and walked out to the bike rack, the entire bike and the kryponite u-lock with which the bike was locked were missing from the rack. Another bike that I see every now and then was locked to spot I had used in the morning which leads me to think the theft took place in the morning hours. Shook the rack and it was mostly intact, a little loose. I really have no idea how the bike was taken from this u-bike rack.
